Help Support the Sayre House of Hope at Sept. 13 Event

Sayre, Pa. -- Tickets are currently on sale for the Guthrie Gala which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13 in the Guthrie Clinic Atrium in Sayre. Proceeds from the Guthrie Gala benefit the Sayre House of Hope, a nonprofit facility located on Guthrie’s campus in Sayre.

“The mission of Sayre House of Hope is to alleviate the financial and emotional burdens on patients and families during a medical crisis by providing affordable temporary housing and support,” said Elizabeth Hibbard manager of the House of Hope. She added, “The Sayre House of Hope would not be possible without the support of local businesses and individuals and the Gala is one of our main sources of funding.”

The cost of the Gala is $110 per ticket which includes hors d’oeuvres, a delicious assortment of gourmet specialties in a station atmosphere, beer and wine tasting, dessert and coffee bar and entertainment provided by Into the Spin. Tickets may be purchased in the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital Gift Shop or online at www.guthrie.org/gala.

The Guthrie Gala is the premiere fundraiser for Sayre House of Hope, raising more than $60,000 each year. As an independent 501c3 nonprofit corporation, Sayre House of Hope relies on philanthropy to continue its mission of providing temporary housing and support for families during a medical crisis.
